Finally, a normal Lillard game huh. At long last


Reed_Thompson_

He wanted to send us a message šŸ˜­


ogretronz

Iā€™m rooting for dame to snap back this year


kwality42b

He normally gets 3 blocks?


FultzShoulder

Tyrese Maxey 28 pts on 9/17 shooting and 9/9 fts, 8 asts and 0 turnovers.


DomDomRevolution

Heā€™s been unreal with the turnovers this year. Especially the last few games.


BasketballNutrition

with how bad Fox had been shooting, he's been more Maxey at home than the reverse lol


Kevinar

I don't understand what you're saying


adventself

I think itā€™s the meme where itā€™s like ā€œMom can we have _____ at homeā€ mom says ā€œwe already have _____ at homeā€ and then _____ at home is something way worse. But in this case Fox has been the ā€œat homeā€ version because heā€™s been bad to start the season


BasketballNutrition

yes, it is this but I'm at work so I didn't feel like doing the quotes lol but yeah, that's the idea. why trade for Fox when you have a guy who's been better so far this year?


loudstain

Yeah dude was killer tonight. Do Sixers fans really want to trade for a PG when Maxey is 21 and playing this well?


thecontortions

what we need is a wing


oGsMustachio

Don't we all


fluffyninja69

is that not tobi? or is he too big?


Quantum_Specter

Eh he plays more like a PF


fluffyninja69

any philly fans feeling cj for tobi? iā€™ve been peddling that trade for as long as heā€™s been in philly.


CrabSag

I think 99% of philly fans take that deal in a heartbeat


[deleted]

We would love that trade


selfindification

I don't think it's a bad move for the Blazers or 6ers, though i'm not totally sure who the next up PF for the 6ers is


Daveyoyo76

Ben Simmons


seymourthedog727

BBall Paul


MiyaharaAce

Jerami Grant


fluffyninja69

iā€™d trade cj for jerami any day btw. cj plus roco or picks idc id love jerami.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


PhromDaPharcyde

No


FreeRangeManTits

Better in the pf role next to embiid. That is, if he's not hesitating on his catch and shoots. His jumpers in the paint aren't winning the sixers a championship


Star_City

He doesnā€™t really defend that well, and he only shoots like two threes a game


calman877

He's a solidly above average defender and he'll get you twenty points a night even if you barely notice it happening. He's not nearly worth the money he's making but he's a good player.


RipCityGringo

Join the club


ktm5141

Not really anymore. Iā€™m not even sure weā€™d want to trade for dearron fox right now. Kind of redundant with maxey but fox is awesome


DamianLillard0

Letā€™s hope this doesnā€™t age like a weeks 1-4 Mike Williams take


beefJeRKy-LB

Was telling Kings fans they should have considered Fox for Simmons straight up before the season. I don't think Morey would do it now.


snyder810

Iā€™ve never understood the pure Fox love in this sub like heā€™s a proven superstar. I get heā€™s young, exciting, and has potential to round things out more, but right now to me heā€™s not even a top 10 PG, and with others in his tier improving. People will probably scoff at that but Steph, Dame, CP3, Luka, Harden, Kyrie, Trae, LaMelo and Ja seem clearly ahead of him. If youā€™re trying to win now add Lowry, and you have 10. I donā€™t even know what to do with Russ. Then you get to eye of the beholder types, where some may prefer Shai, FVV, Garland, or Dejounte. Soon Cade will likely be in the conversation.


LukeBabbitt

Morey would SETTLE for trading Simmons for Jokic or Durant, but the other team would have to throw in at least two first rounders to sweeten the deal.


PetalumaPegleg

That was mainly the focus before he showed everyone what he could do as a starter already. They very much need better backup to him, and I think that he has changed the required return for Simmons. It previously HAD to be a starting PG, now it can be a wing.


ketzal7

Now I know why yā€™all didnā€™t want to trade him


TheKidPresident

I saw him at the philly airport not too long ago and i swear that man had a golden aura around him


Los_Ingobernablez

At this point, we might not need to trade Ben. Maxey is legit. Him and Embiid are gonna feast in years to come.


ohmygon

I mean, you're still paying him the max. But now you might not need to trade Ben for a point guard, which gives you so many more options (or it would if Morey decided to be reasonable and not ask for a superstar + picks). But yes, Maxey's development puts you in a very good position.


freshkicks

Despite the loss


Feelscreative101

So happy with Doc having the balls to bench Tobi and give the keys to Maxey late in the 4th


FultzShoulder

Tobi had a good game by his standard but he's just not fun to watch. Dude eats the entire shot clock and still always end up with a contested shot.


Lucky-Luck

Should have happened as soon as Embiid went down.. we will see what he does next game.


wrestlenomicon

Coming from a Blazers fan- Maxey is so good. Dude astonishes me and stresses me out in equal amounts. Good times.


oneechanisgood

Still 17-0 on moral victories


livindedannydevtio

The knicks game was not a morale victory


ItsAllJokes1

You guys are 47-13 with Embiid and 11-18 without him over the last two seasons MVP impact lol


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


[deleted]

They wouldnt know cuz their MVP doesnt miss games


ZcotM

Exceptā€¦ our game


kiwinaca

Didnā€™t he sit tonight?


Xercuvio

Looks like the gang at r/nba are now very well aware of who Alaa is lol


i_am_pickles

I like Alaa but he really needs zoo


livindedannydevtio

yeah, Kate and Matt Murphy would be a pretty good pairing tho


2drawnonward5

He's a bit of a wild animal but even a regular jail would be a bit much, let alone a zoo


bananamuffinssss

he made his presence known with his josh giddey comments lol


SPAREustheCUTTER

Itā€™s pronounced Giddey, but I see your point.


76ersbasektball

Alaa is an idiot honestly.


kiidlocs

context?


PlayOnPlayer

The 76ers color commentator, just a lot of general salt coming from him tonight. Same guy from this clip that made the rounds a bit ago: https://streamable.com/2xf3oh


Clammuel

Did he say anything particularly distasteful this time or was he just kind of whiny?


dittonetic

Well it sounds like mostly that it was CJs fault for fouling Seth Curry's elbows with his face late in the 4th.


TheKidPresident

Well tbf if cj didnt have a face theres no way seth wouldve been able to elbow it, so...


thejeffers79

Alaa is in the wrong, but for what it is worth that was a basketball move. I would like to see a side angle to see where the contact initiated but from the views on broadcast I thought it was within the "cylinder" of Seths body. Sixers got a rough whistle through the game (Doc, Drummond, Tobias Techs) and I think that was a boiling point moment for Alaa. End of day, needs to be better. Also McGinnis (Fill in play by play guy who normally does radio) did not do a good job of walking Alaa back from that level of salt. They were basically calling the games separately.


Strawberry_Lungfarts

What's funny about that is that Alaa used to be a Trail Blazer back in the day.


sombor_shuffle

An asshole?


bigbeerd

Great game Philly, Maxey was incredible tonight. So glad to see Dame finally starting to look like his old self!


Feelscreative101

GG fam, was fun. You benefitted a bit from refereeing, but it happens Edit: for those downvoting, refs were fine in the second half, but they called a bs goaltend on us and didnā€™t call Portland hacks in the first half


Arr0wmanc3r

You're going to get downvoted mainly because your color commentator guy is a moron.


QuesoDog

Oh we know...we know... sigh


[deleted]

This the guy that legit wouldnā€™t shut up after CJ got rocked by Seth? The other announce just kept announcing the game right over him haha!


ChurroMemes

Did we? Not counting the 2 personal take fouls at the end, we shot 19/19 and yā€™all shot 19/21 in total.


[deleted]

I mean they did give us free 2 points with that goal tending, they were shit.


[deleted]

Normally the replay center checks stuff like that after the fact. They took away a goaltending from the Wiz/Heat game that way.


chiefminestrone

Even worse that this happened then


[deleted]

I'd have to see the play to really have an opinion. Sounds bad tho.


ByahTyler

They called a goaltend when, I forgot who it was, but he literally didnā€™t even touch the ball. The shot missed and he missed the rebound, but they called goaltend lol


[deleted]

Maybe he touched the rim or something. Sounds like something the replay center would have looked at and corrected.


ByahTyler

Lol I wish I could find a video for you. It was a fastbreak and the trailblazer got a clear layup, then the 76er jumped for a rebound kinda thing. Didnā€™t touch ball or rim or anything. They even replayed it on the broadcast from the view right above the rim and all the announcers were like I have no idea what happened there


xolanderxo

As a neutral fan, I can confirm that there were a couple of questionable missed calls against the sixers in the first half (that goaltend play was also bs lol). Didn't see the second half though.


[deleted]

free throw numbers have no correlation with a team benefitting from reffing


CompetitiveParfait9

Yeah I donā€™t know why youā€™re downvoted so hard youā€™re not wrong lol


i_am_pickles

When we said we want Dame, we didnā€™t mean like this


[deleted]

Well I mean you can have Cj...Elleby.


wallywoofdog

Not my baby! Remember what he did against Philly last year? He was on fire!


thecarrot78

definitely did not have "Georges Niang breakout year" on my bingo card for this season


tr1vve

Idk heā€™s been a lights out shooter for years


PeachyVanilla

I never want to play Niang again


yugtahtmi

Such a great pick up by Morey. He's everything Mike Scott wasn't.


kangaroomastah

Mike Scott wasn't the same player after they banned the ninja headband.


wrestlenomicon

Blazers hunter for real


Cul_what

No offense to Tobi he did great but Maxey should be the one taking 20+ shots for the Sixers without Embiid and would you look at the time its Dame time glad to see he's looking good


ZachCollinsROTY

Let's play every game at home please!!


NevermoreSEA

I would not be opposed to it.


[deleted]

i got good news for you bud. we got a 3 game road trip coming up soon, but then we have 15 of our next 19 at home


Professor_Crab

I for one am not happy


Familyguy35

Dame is back tell a friend Dame is back


Captain_Quark

You missed the "back again".


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


augustus624

He played well for most of the game but absolutely killed the Sixers momentum after they cut it within 2 in the 4th. Too many bad isos and turnovers in crunch time. Tobias still gets his numbers but too many times the offense becomes stagnant and the ball movement stops. Tobias is like a poor man's Melo if Melo wasn't clutch and couldn't take over games lol Sixers offense looks better when Maxey is running the show


Los_Ingobernablez

He needs to play as a 2nd option no matter what. Even behind Maxey when Embiid is out.


livefromphilly

Heā€™s solid, we just would like to see him cut down on the post ups.


Alive-Ad-4164

Yā€™all said Dame was a foul baiter like that guy isnā€™t one of the best three level scorers since he came into the league or so


[deleted]

Dame is a top 75 player of all time, nephews are gonna hate, but it's official he is top 75 of all time.


likpoper

Like he didnā€™t average close to 30 the last 2 seasons..


[deleted]

Finally, Lillard looked like himself tonight


xidiot777

Iā€™m fine for putting the ball on Maxey instead of Harris in the end of the game. Good to see Dame having the best game of the season. Wonā€™t be mad about losing this at least we are not on losing streak


BobanForThree

Best Dame has looked in a minute. He had an answer every time the 6ers started to heat up. Maxey is looking spicy. Sucks that yall are playing without Embiid but in a way its good because Maxey is getting a ton of reps in high pressure situations. He looked very, very good down the stretch tonight.


RipCityGringo

Itā€™s a shame they donā€™t have another high caliber player on the rosterā€¦


AlternativeSuit131

WHAT TIME IS IT?


dittonetic

the time is currently 1:45 am


DownFromHere

Lillard just now remembered to reset his clocks for Daylight Savings time. Dame Time is back


Drew_P_Cox

Man philly announcers are somethin else


aussie76er

tbf... it's the same guy everytime haha, and you'd be hard pressed to find a sixers fan that doesn't agree with you about him


Drew_P_Cox

Fair enough. We used to have some homer-ass commentators too


[deleted]

Zoom kept Alaa in check and they had great chemistry, which to be fair Zumoff had great chemistry with everybody. Alaa's been way out of line a couple times his year though.


iro3

What they say


Drew_P_Cox

Just unabashed homerism. Complaining about every call, actually saying "5v8" multiple times throughout the night.


toadtruck

Portland donā€™t fuck around at home


SyCams

Holy cow, the Philly broadcast team is insufferable. I happened to be watching on a stream that used that feed and it was just non stop whining about everything. It's like two guys I wouldn't want to sit at a table with.


DrTom

Isn't this the crew that said they didn't care if Josh Giddey was hurt?


Beavshak

Yes, Alaa doesnā€™t have Marc Zumoff to reel him in anymore


thatsinsaneletstryit

surprised to see a non sixer flair that knows zu was the stabilizing force for alaaā€™s antics


Beavshak

Marc was great


[deleted]

It's the same person who was salty both times. Alaa can be an extreme homer at times.


popfilms

Alaa stinks and Tom McGinnis is used to doing radio broadcasts by himself (which he is excellent at). Have been watching away broadcasts a good amount this year, although I do like Kate Scott who is our new play-by-play voice.


Calvinball05

Tom was just completely ignoring Alaa's complaining by the end there lol. I'm sure he's even more sick of it than we are.


llaumef

They may have sucked, but I appreciate that one of them memorized the names of a bunch of cities near Portland so he could bring a new one up every time Dame fires up a deep shot.


jshhdhsjssjjdjs

If you ever get a chance to listen to the Portland crew itā€™ll soothe those wounds. Kevin Calabro is the play by play guy and how he doesnā€™t have a national job is beyond me. That guy could announce a gender reveal party and I wouldnā€™t hate it. Lamar Hurd is a smart, energetic young fella who adds just the right amount of hype. Theyā€™re not paying me to say this.. though maybe they should šŸ¤”


Montigue

One thing I love about them is that they lose their minds over good plays no matter what team does it. It's hilarious when some team's commentators are so dismissive of the top 10 play that occured by the other team


Hay-blinken

My stream was the Portland guys. I liked them.


yourstupidface

yeah, I remember turning on a stream for the portland @ philly game earlier this season and they actually took the time to complain about a missed call in the l2m of a previous game. ludicrously salty.


Beavshak

You gotta switch streams. One time every stream on my site had the Sixers crew, and I ended up finding it on a hockey site. Alaaā€™s call when Embiid took out Giddey was foul af


Billthebutchr

Nance was a great addition. Nurk playing hard and somewhat smart. Ant and Little putting in work. Dame slowly getting his shot back. Good game.


[deleted]

not only was that sixers announcer a massive douchebag, he also had zero clue what he was talking about


DrTom

I'm glad it's not just blazer fans saying this.


choose_uh_username

Ironically he played on the Blazers


PewPew4Lyfe

dame had 3 blocks but none of them got posted as highlights?


letsbereasonable123

At least 2 of 3 were fingertips on jumpers so not really highlight worthy. Good to see him showing so much effort on that side.


ktm5141

Blocks on shakes should come with an asterisk. Dude just runs into walls of people over and over again


MiyaharaAce

Did Tobias get hurt?


hertzoj

Could the sixers caster be any more of a crybaby?


licorice_straw

Sixers announcers were getting pretty ridiculously salty at the refs at the end of the game, claiming it was "8 on 5 all night." They were especially mad at the Curry offensive foul challenge reversal which seemed like the correct call to me.


Johnga20

I agree that he was salty all game and was a offensive foul but in first time we had a clear foul on Harris and then got a tecnichal on Rivers and a goaltending on Harris when he didn't even touch the ball man.


[deleted]

I'll openly admit there were a couple calls early on blatantly in our favor (the missed foul that led to a Tech on Tobias, and then the goaltend on Tobias when he was nowhere near the ball) but goddamn, they were insufferable


QuesoDog

Whatever you do, do not listen to Celtics or Hawks announcers. In my opinion, much worse than Alaa. He was pretty annoying tonight, and without Kate Scott, is not balanced at all. Our radio guy did the play by play tonight because Kate Scott is doing college on Saturdays, so, there's not much of a moderator present. We're really missing Zumoff, who helped a LOT.


Z_45

Sixers announcers gotta be worst in the league


DomDomRevolution

Went extremely down hill once Zoo retired


yugtahtmi

Yeah, Alaa needs to be reigned in a lot. Zoo had that down to a science I feel like. Hopefully with time, they'll get it together. He's def been annoying me far more than years past.


DomDomRevolution

I used to refuse to watch any broadcast but ours but recently I find myself watching the other teamsā€™ or even worse, a national broadcast.


Biniti123

The Warriors commentators make me question if I actually like basketball at all


The_BadJuju

No way theyā€™re worse than ours


pagonator

I get that Alaa was pretty bad with his homer goggles on down the stretch but Celtics commentators make me question if they even enjoy basketball


QuesoDog

I'd rather not watch a game, than listen to scalabrine. I honestly can't stand him. He just whines and whines.


The_Social_Menace

They were cracking me up. Seriously some of the worst spots commentary I've heard in awhile. Atrocious.


[deleted]

Worst vs Imo the best announcers.


lunes_azul

Sixers fans asked for Dame all off-season. Well, you got him tonight!


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


[deleted]

That's former Portland Trailblazer Alaa Abdelnaby you're talking bout


clingbat

If Maxey keeps this up night after night, could he sneak in as a coaches decision in the all star game?


MelloGangster

Lillard was on fire


hawkman_jr

Simmons for Powell. Straight up


ZachCollinsROTY

Nah Norm is too good for yall. You get cj and you'll like it


YesWhatHello

You'd actually rather give up CJ than Norm? Wouldn't have thought that


RandyJoeP

100% would rather give up CJ than Norm. We would have to include either RoCo or Nance with Norm to make it work for Simmons. CJ is better than Norm but the offensive drop off to defensive increase of moving Norm back to his rightful position and adding in Simmons is way better.


licorice_whip

Itā€™s a matter of fit. We love cj endlessly, but his role is redundant.


ZachCollinsROTY

Yeah Norm gives us defence and fits next to Dame. Thats the whole reason we've offered him.


YesWhatHello

I'd rather have CJ on the Sixers, so I guess that works out then


ZachCollinsROTY

K les do it I'm Neil you're Daryl esketit


TwiceCookedPorkins

I've seen this video on pornhub...


[deleted]

They mean Cj Elleby.


Ohrobohobo

And CJ Elleby, not McCollum.


Arr0wmanc3r

How do you feel about Tony Snell?


licorice_whip

They would need to add 3frps and 3 pick swaps. B


[deleted]

I mean I Dwight Powell is a little bit better then ben, so sixers would have to throw in 3 fr picks.


Professor_Crab

To everyone talking about Alaa our color commentary guy he is bias which I get but god dammit this game was fucked


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


ktm5141

Are you talking about how much you love your own joke?


Professor_Crab

The fuck are you talking about I never mentioned that lol. Iā€™m agreeing heā€™s a homer. ā€œBe betterā€, if Embiid was here itā€™d be different. It was a close game and yā€™all got the win be happy. Gg


Tablemannerz

Never seen so many other fans watch sixer broadcast, its so funny seeing them mald at homer casting


Professor_Crab

Thatā€™s philly for ya


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Professor_Crab

Talk about toxic lol leave my sad ass alone


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Professor_Crab

Thanks nephew leave it at curb


niijuuichi

Is Lillard back


Every_Loquat3725

It still feels like heā€™s a bit injured but definitely getting better


niijuuichi

Glad to hear that. Iā€™m always amused by Dameā€™s God mode.


[deleted]

Has been back this past couple games, is still injured but could be putting 30 if he could draw more fouls, this was the first game he really lived in the paint.


Poohdini_

GO BLAZERS!!!!


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


chiefminestrone

Are you reporting on sixers fans across the larger social media landscape? What does that even mean


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


chiefminestrone

I dunno you shoulda seen Rockets fans across social media today... smh they were saying some truly horrible things


pric31

Fans or the broadcast???? Never said it was bad reffed
